Az HBO® monumentális új sorozata, amely George R.R. Martin kirobbanó sikerű regénysorozata, A tűz és jég dala alapján készült, olyan világban játszódik, ahol a nyarak évtizedeket ölelhetnek át, a telek pedig akár egy emberéleten át is tarthatnak. Az ármánykodó déltől és a barbár keleti földektől kezdve a jeges északig és az ősi Falig, amely a mindent elnyelő titokzatos sötétségtől védi a birodalmat, a Hét Királyság nagy hatalmú családjai vívnak egymással harcot a Vastrón megszerzéséért. Fondorlat és árulás. Nemesség és becsület. Hódítás és győzelem. A Trónok harcában diadalmaskodsz vagy meghalsz. (Pro Video Film)

No offense, this game of being a rough and different fantasy is mostly about the fact that among all the possible clichés, both directing and story, there is a lot of sex from behind, talking dirty and every now and then someone takes a piss. Otherwise, in the first two episodes, there is a lot of talk, but it does not in any way create interest in the mythology of the fictional world in a person unfamiliar with the book (which is quite a problem when it comes to fantasy). The characters are fine, some of them are absolutely great (especially the decadent dwarf Tyrion), but I kind of found out over time that I don't really care much about what happens to them next. What I miss are the explicitly ballbusting and charming scenes, something that would set this series apart beyond excretion and intercourse. I'm not in the mood to watch the next episode, which is quite a problem for an HBO series.

Without the need to vomit out a commentary full of either glorification or dirt after the first episode, I watched this third season of Rome in peace and quiet. True, the sunny amphitheaters have been replaced by the cool atmosphere of massive castles, but the characters remain. The beautifully ambiguous, non-black and white, well-detailed, and superbly acted characters, once again reinforce the belief that even when guns are blazing in a series (film), there may not necessarily be a battle because there are always enough grey eminences, schemers, and related coincidences that can shift the plot in a different way than we expect. If there is anything not worth praising, it is the direction of the last two episodes because the first one lacks proper gradation and the final one lacks a stronger epilogue resonance. When it's no longer in fashion at the library to take out Martin's books and there’s no queue for them at the bookstore, I'll drop by. I’m really intrigued by this world. [PS: My personal sympathies go out to Ser Jorah and Arya Stark, and now that list also includes Tyrion Lannister since the beginning of the second season.]

So much fuss over of a single dwarf… No, Game of Thrones does not deserve such vitriol, though it’s true that it most convincingly triumphs in the most literary of disciplines – dialogue. The word rules, the images do not captivate. In my opinion, the actors aren’t suited to their respective roles (including the diminutive Tyrion), but I should blame that on my imagination, not on the people who adapted the book into a series. Game of Thrones is literature in film form, nothing more. Fortunately, it’s literature of extraordinary quality. 80%

The first season was a struggle. There’s so much empty dialogue, scheming that goes nowhere and raw fucking that it makes you tired. But as the episodes and seasons progress, you begin to marvel at the thoughtful interconnectedness of the individual fates, how everything fits together with surgical precision, how G.R.R. Martin, or rather the showrunners, are not afraid to shock and allow themselves the least predictable (and yet logical) twists that make your jaw drop, your back shiver, and all you can do is utter an involuntary "Bugger me!". The manner in which the fates of Arya, Sansa, Tyrion (and I could go on) unfold in the least predictable ways brings joy to the hearts of viewers who enjoy rich stories. A real viewer's delight that builds to a fantastic fourth season, and I really have no idea what they're going to top it with in the upcoming one. And the fact that the series has an unprecedented, by TV standards, large-scale set design, sets and atmosphere, where every thoughtfully invested dollar of the generous budget is evident, only confirms the quality of this exceptional achievement.

The War of the Roses and goings-on on the Apennine Peninsula under the Borgias in fantasy garb in the shape of a saga for which the label “fantasy" is too restrictive, even if it didn’t seem so to begin with. Nobody with spiky ears, no dwarves, orcs or similar critters. But we do get numerous living, non black-and-white characters (primarily Claudio... um Tyrion, who is head and shoulders above the rest) and politicians. Tons and tons of politics and tons and tons of intrigues, plotting and scheming and, somewhere in the background and sort of “by the way", epic battles that are more spoken about than taken part in; and it is no mistake that the best passages in the book are the “purges" à la Tyrion’s chapter four of “Clash of Kings". That applies to the book. Look for the bearer of the torch lit by Waltari and Graves rather than a variation on Lord of the Rings or the current unending list of generic sagas. That’s why it’s good that HBO took this under its wing, because this IS (and will be) like their Rome with a fantasy backdrop. Simply an adaptation in the form of a series which, despite not matching the image formed inside my head over many years (it isn’t made for fans of the books, but mainly for viewers without an opinion and so mainly it should be able to stand alone by itself as a series in itself; which HBO is managing so far), I find thrilling because the creators avoided following the books religiously and are not afraid of cutting to the quick, even though sometimes it’s a little too hurried and they don’t let some situations sink in properly. They often use theatrical approaches instead of regular cinema language (that only comes with the arrival of Alan Taylor and season two). Which certainly is not a criticism, just an observation. And this is a typical HBO series in the way that separate episodes don’t work too well alone, but only as part of a whole. A prime example is the finale of season one and the opening episode of season two. In each there are so many storylines that each gets their “minute under the spotlight", but there is so much of it that the result is disjointed, with a little bit of everything, which ends up being a little bit of nothing. But if you take them as part of the whole, everything suddenly seems right because, as we know, HBO simply doesn’t work in terms of seasons. For them, the start of a new season is “just" another chapter of one story; and you can tell apart separate seasons only on the basis of their constantly growing (and already high) production value. Although the creators like do it their way (from season two on I would describe it as loosely inspired by “Game of Thrones", rather than an adaptation of “Game of Thrones"), in spirit they remain faithful to the book. And what does being faithful to the book mean in the case of Game of Thrones? This doesn’t mean sticking at all costs to the wealth of stories and twists; these are not so important, can be changed, shortened, combined etc., but being faithful to the characters. The creators often follow different routes than the book’s author, but they follow them to the same destination. Which, in view of their exceptional qualities, characterization and development, I think speaks for itself. | S1: 5/5 | S2: 4/5 | S3: 4/5 | S4: 5/5 | S5: 4/5 | S6: 4/5 | S7: 4/5 | S8: 3/5 |
